The elevating usage of aminobenzoic acid in sunscreens, where it functions as a UV-absorbing agent, providing protection against harmful ultraviolet rays, is primarily driving the market growth. For example, some of the most recognized sunscreen brands, such as Coppertone, Banana Boat, Hawaiian Tropic, etc., used aminobenzoic acid in their formulations.
Apart from this, the rising adoption of aminobenzoic acid in the treatment of Peyronie’s disease is also acting as another growth-inducing factor. For example, one of the studies revealed that taking a potassium PABA supplement decreased plaque size significantly in individuals with Peyronie’s disease over 12 months as compared with a placebo.
Wide Presence of Key Players
The rising number of prominent leaders who are widely investing in R&D activities and collaborating with industry players is contributing to the overall aminobenzoic acid market. For example, Changzhou Sunlight, one of the leading companies that has a strong customer base and an efficient distribution network, develops high-quality 4-aminobenzoic acid products.
Similarly, Mitsuboshi Chemical is another prominent player in the aminobenzoic acid market. Moreover, the company is known for its strong emphasis on R&D activities related to para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), a fundamental organic compound with diverse applications in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
Extensive Applications in the Pharmaceutical Industry
The elevating prevalence of chronic infections and diseases is propelling the need for aminobenzoic acid in the production of certain drugs. For example, according to the Center for Disease Control's National Diabetes Statistics Report, the prevalence of diabetes in the United States increased to 37.3 million in 2022. In line with this, the Institute of Health and Welfare in Australia estimated that the country recorded 14,800 lung cancer cases in 2023 as compared to 14,529 lung cancer cases in 2022. These statistics indicate the need for pharmaceutical products, thereby stimulating the adoption of aminobenzoic acid.
In line with this, PABA acts as a vital component in the synthesis of several pharmaceuticals, including antibiotics and sulfonamide drugs, which are anticipated to fuel the market growth over the forecasted period.
The market is also being driven by increasing investments and capacity expansions:

Capital requirements generally include land acquisition, construction, equipment procurement, installation, pre-operative expenses, and initial working capital. The total amount varies with capacity, technology, and location.
To start an aminobenzoic acid production business, one needs to conduct a market feasibility study, secure required licenses, arrange funding, select suitable land, procure equipment, recruit skilled labor, and establish a supply chain and distribution network.
Aminobenzoic acid production requires raw materials such as terephthalic acid and ammonia. Solvents and catalysts may also be used, depending on the synthesis route.
The aminobenzoic acid factory typically requires chemical reactors, nitration vessels, filtration units, distillation columns, crystallizers, and drying systems. Supporting equipment includes solvent recovery units, pH control systems, and safety setups for handling acids and reducing agents.
The main steps generally include:
Collection of raw materials
Nitration of aromatic compound
Reduction of nitro group to amine
Acidification or purification
Crystallization
Drying and packaging
Quality testing and storage
Usually, the timeline can range from 18 to 36 months to start an aminobenzoic acid production plant, depending on factors like plant capacity, location, environmental clearances, and complexity of chemical processes. Equipment setup and regulatory approvals often consume the most time.
Challenges may include high capital requirements, securing regulatory approvals, ensuring raw material supply, competition, skilled manpower availability, and managing operational risks.
